Welcome to our school,

Broomfield SILC is a generic special school for pupils aged 2 to 19 years with 4 sites: our main site and 2 partnership sites at Windmill Primary and Rodillian Secondary and our new Post-16 partnership site at the White Rose Business Park called Future Steps. The SILC is based in the South of Leeds and caters for a wide range of needs from moderate learning difficulties; severe learning difficulties; complex and multiple learning needs; Autism and social and emotional and mental health needs. Some students have additional needs – physical; medical; speech and language; visual, hearing or sensory impairment.   We are a very popular choice for parents and carers and currently have 228 pupils on roll.

Broomfield secured a ‘Good’ Ofsted in March 2023 where inspectors commented that leaders have ‘high ambitions’ and ‘high aspirations for all pupils’ and that ‘staff are proud to work in our school’.  I am very proud of our school community where staff are committed to supporting young people to fulfil their potential and prepare them fully for their future, particularly focusing on communication, independence, and emotional regulation.

We are looking for an Educarer who has the commitment, passion and resilience to make a difference to young peoples’ lives. You will provide medical support that allows pupils to access education on our site.

In return you will be provided with comprehensive Continuous Professional Development and will be supported by a professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff team who will ensure you are fully equipped to meet the needs of our diverse learners.

• Ability to use initiative
• Problem solving skills
